This doesn't work the way you think it does :)) What happens is illustrated in K2:N4 below:
If, with the above Table1, you expect the diff. shown in I8:I9 AFAIK this isn't doable with a classic PivotTable but with Power Pivot assuming you run Excel >/=2013 on Windows

I didn't know about power pivot tools I thought it's just a subtraction between two values and it's done lol I appreciate your time in explaining the solution it's more clear now
